AttackIQ®, the leading independent vendor of breach and attack simulation (BAS) solutions and founding research partner of the MITRE Engenuity Center for Threat-Informed Defense (CTID), today announced it has appointed Paul Reid as Vice President of Adversary Research and Rob Stitch as Vice President of Product.

The appointments of Reid and Stitch come at a pivotal time as AttackIQ strengthens its leadership team to support its growth strategy and commitment to delivering industry-leading BAS products. Their combined expertise will accelerate AttackIQ’s efforts to innovate and enhance its offerings, ensuring customers have visibility into their security program performance with clear data-driven analysis and mitigation guidance.

“Our mission is to help every organization, regardless of size or expertise, achieve a robust, threat-informed defense,” said Brett Galloway, CEO of AttackIQ. “Paul and Rob bring decades of expertise and a proven track record of driving impactful change in cybersecurity. Their leadership will significantly enhance our ability to empower security teams to proactively find security gaps in their cyber defenses, ultimately providing even more value to our customers and partners.”

“Joining AttackIQ is a unique opportunity to apply my experience from the other side of the cyber defense spectrum,” Reid said. “In my previous roles, I often thought, ‘If only they had done this or tested that.’ At AttackIQ, we proactively identify security control failures and simulate potential attacks, helping organizations build resilience and respond to threats before real damage occurs. I look forward to working with the talented team here to help our customers better understand and cope with the threats they face.”
